A documented, fully hyperlinked account of how six feminist plaintiffs, arrested for shirtfree protest at the Cape Cod National Seashore, withdrew from their own federal lawsuit (Craft v. Hodel, 683 F. Supp. 289) rather than let it serve a First Amendment strategy aligned with a nudist-organization amicus brief supporting the defendant in the child-exploitation case Massachusetts v. Oakes. Drawing on U.S. Supreme Court records, a published federal decision, the adversary's own newsletter, a UPI wire report, a postcard from Andrea Dworkin, and a university-press history, it documents Nikki Craft's five-year investigation of child exploitation within the organized naturist movement — the work that became the Nudist/Naturist Hall of Shame (nostatusquo.com/ACLU/NudistHallofShame) — the firing that punished her whistleblowing, and Wikipedia's erasure of the record. Sources are linked to primary-source scans in this collection. Part of the Nikki Craft Archival Project. Series: Primary Source Documents.
